• Intelligent Control Room Management for Oil & Gas Pipeline Safety
  Globally, we have more than 1,500,000 Km of oil and gas pipeline - with more than 600,000 Km in North America alone. These numbers are even higher with the addition of other hazardous gas and liquids transported through pipelines. Though efficient and critical, these pipelines carry high costs...
• The use of surge protective devices in mitigating the effects of lightning strikes in offshore oil applications
  The frequency and magnitude of lightning strikes in. the Gulf of Mexico and their effect on offshore oil. applications are well documented. Recognizing the. prevalence of lightning strikes in this region, several. system specifications and practices written for lightning. mitigation have been...

But lost production is lost revenue. In these instances, investing several thousand dollars per day to. scan and model...
• Incremental Ring-core Determination of the Principal Residual Stress in a Duplex Stainless Steel Centrifuge (.pdf)
  Large separator centrifuges are widely used in the production of corn oil, cornstarch, and starch derivatives found in many household products including bread, toothpaste, diapers, and filters. A photo of a large centrifuge is shown in Figure 1. Centrifuges are used to efficiently separate...

• Protective Materials for Maritime Vessels (.pdf)
  As early as 1950 a new generation of composite materials was being developed to support the offshore oil & gas, aerospace, and defense industries. These materials included syntactic foams, glass and ceramic-based hollow micro and macrospheres, unique polymers, elastomers, and rubber. Today...
• SIL 101 (Safety Integrity Levels): How Safe Do I Need To Be?
  The global importance of SIL (Safety Integrity Levels) has grown substantially in the oil/gas, petrochemical and other process industries over the last 10 years. However, for many end users, systems integrators, and product vendors, SIL is still a somewhat ambiguous concept that often...
